XPerties Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 but when I uninstall Messenger Plus! 2 and reinstall it without the check in the 'Install Sponsor'-field, the bar will be gone, and won't come back?Nope your still gona have stuff left over.You gona have to read up on the other threads and see what needs to be done. You need to run 2 items (apps/freeware) to clean your system 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have done all these steps you WILL be fine. Next time you install MSN plus unchecked the little marker that agrees to installing this crap and you will be fine.You will find that as shown in the screen shot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica1 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 i had this searchbar but its not the searchv.com its actually the LOP search toolbar. ((maybe they are incorpornated together who knows)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FthrJACK Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 lop.com bars are a b***h to get rid of. theres a bottom one too that pops up sometimes. Adaware 6 can remove it if its uptodate i think.took me 6 reboots to get rid of that crap a while back. whatever you do dont install torrent search, full of lop stuff and other spyware. They got a nice email off me about it, and they replied too heh. Think they have ditched some of the ads since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 might sound really stupid but try right clicking at the top and removing everything you dont use from there, it sounds simple but it has worked for me many times, then adware it and zap the fu**er to cyber hell.You mean unchecking the bars shown? That only hides them, they're still doing "evil" stuff in the background... ... Adware no longer is top of the line (as it used to be), try Spybot S&D or PestPatrol... more up-to-date than Adware!

Shotgun Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 One way I have used to get rid of the extra stuff that gets installed into IE is this:Open Internet OptionsGo to General -> temporary filesClick View ObjectsRight click each one and see its PropertiesRight click and Uninstall any you don't know or want... (leave the ones for Shockwave, Updater and Media Player codecs)Also, to be on the safe side, use a spyware remover like Spybot S&D or Pest Patrol to clean any orphaned "spyware" files.

Metallica1 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 the spybot s&d is a great program but there is one problem with it!! It doesnt detect some of the newer version of LOP. Also, the LOP i had didnt install anything under the objects. My advice, get it off your system and be sure to never get it back. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FthrJACK Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Someone should hack lop.com or put iron filings in their servers or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice, get it off your system and be sure to never get it back. lolPestPatrol is more robust than Spybot S&D, it can remove LOP no matter which version "got" you. Also, there's a reg file you can download from www.spywareguide.com that sets the "kill" bit for a lot of known spyware. I believe they also include LOP. With the kill bit set, those spyware can't install/load on your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
